Hi John

Thanks for your response. I've found this a problem too, as I (and others) posted here.

I appreciate that searching uses up server resources, but is there any particularl reason for 30 seconds? Would it be possible to maybe trial a 15 second delay, and see if that results in a drop in performance of the site as a whole? Or maybe limit the number of searches to 10 in a five minute period? If there's some compromise solution that would be great, as very often having completed one search (which doesn't return the preferred result) you want to refine your search and run another right away.

I know this must seem like a tiny thing, but I would imagine if you added up the number people and the number of 30 second delays, it's probably a significant amount of the community's time...
